It's a pity that Mulder and Scully didn't have a sleeping bag with them.))

Ooh, I'm already uncomfortable with those sinister eyes in the last scene. We urgently need to watch a video with cats after this.

Ohhh, here she is! This is the episode that I remember from the years when The X-Files was first shown on TV! I fell into the soul even then and now I did not disappoint. The scene at night in the forest is full of charm and sweetness!
Awesome series! 5 out of 5, definitely!

Damn, I remembered this series from childhood - I was sure that there would be a sequel... But the next episode was part b about the monster and Cher. I decided then that the M.B. series was shown out of order. And now everything has fallen into place :(

I love such series, just mini horror movies)

- Mulder, you really could use some work on your communication skills.
- When I come, we can build a tower of furniture together. Is it good?
:D

and it reminded me of the Predator with Schwarzenegger) I expected that after Scully shot the monster, there would be traces of green glowing blood everywhere))

Oh, this is the episode, I finally saw it. once in my childhood, I clicked the channels in the evening and got to this very moment of their departure and ... it seems nothing special, but these wonderful eyes did not leave my head for a very long time))

The series was released in 1997, I watched it in 2018. After 21 years, the episode has not lost an ounce of horror. Once again, I am convinced that time is beyond the control of this series, and the lack of modern technology with cool special effects does not interfere at all. 👽

I've been waiting for a long time when I get to this series, after it I was afraid to go into the woods as a child, I see I'm not the only one who shuddered at this emptiness

«...The moth-man?..."
"...Sing to me, Scully..."
And then it sounded in my head: Moths are sleeping in the field...

About ticks in 18 - year-old suspended animation without nutrition-this, Of course, Scully strongly bent! 2 years maximum.

Apparently, the translator's error.

Interestingly, Mulder says in the Russian translation that he seriously thought about death when he was on the "polar expedition". Although in the original he laughs it off, talking about watching Ice Capades (1940-1995) - a kind of Dancing on Ice with stars who toured the country like circuses.
And the juxtaposition of Scully's serious response is lost for lack of a joke.

It's been a long time since there were such touching scenes between Mulder and Scully. The last one, it seems, was when they were fishing for a monster on the lake and their boat sank

It's a cool episode, it's a pity that they didn't cover what kind of green men there were in the forest in any way) by the way, everyone joked that Mulder was looking for green men.. You got it , I found it))

@Jammm: Mulder was joking - the Spanish conquistadors came to these forests to look for the secret of eternal youth, and for several hundred years the forest merged with nature. 😆

“I was angry at the injustice of it, it’s meaningless. And then I realized that that was the struggle - to give it meaning, to make sense of it.it’s like life” 💔

I love this kind of series. The horror delivers more newfangled horror movies (well, or exactly on a par!).
And the scene in the forest is, of course, top! Laughed with Mulder's “I don't wanna wrestle” when Scully started warming him up
